Book Title: To Know As We Are Known: A Spirituality of Education

Author: Parker Palmer

Selection Statement:

This book punctuated my mission as both a researcher and a teacher, reminding me that a search for truth occurs not only externally, but also internally. Through knowing ourselves, we can know others. Through our collective efforts we inch closer to deeper meanings and have the capacity to commune with truth. Understanding builds off a foundation that is intellectual, relational, intrapersonal, empirical, and spiritual, in the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom, integrating empiricism and discernment.
